I found the main issue with observing 3C273 is knowing which "star" it actually is, so a good detailed print out of the stars close to it is very helpful. My recollection is that there is a fairly distinctive little asterism that it sits with. I found it readily observable with a 12" scope under dark sky. I reckon you'll nail it.
